Images

                A few days ago in class, Lacy gave us this assignment where we paired up on groups of two and each group received one of these pictures. The pictures were of TV shows and movies. We were told to look at the pictures and analyze them as if we had never seen them before. This task was fun to do because most of the pictures, I hadn’t seen. This allowed me to be completely honest and take in whatever stood out to me. Lacy had us write in the margins key words or thoughts of what we saw. Once we had written what we wanted to we had to pass them on to the next group. We rotated all of the pictures around the whole room until everyone had seen every picture. At the end we received our original pictures. This was really cool because we got to see what other people thought about the picture and we got to see what other people thought of our own ideas.

Hero Narratives

                Last Wednesday Lacy had us split up into our writing groups. Earlier we had created a list of narratives in the form of movies, TV shows, and music. She told us to make a list of ten random narratives from the bigger list and describe if how or even if there was a hero. The assignment was pretty much opinion based which made it more interesting because we got to converse with our group members on whether or not the narrative had a hero in it. Once we figured this out, we were to post a comment for all ten of our choices on the Google doc that Lacy had made. At the very end of the assignment we had to go back and look through alllll of the comments that everyone had posted and write in our daybook what we saw and what questions we might have. As I looked though the comments I noticed that most of the narratives people had listed had some type of hero in it. I think this goes to show that we need heroes in our everyday life and anybody can be one.

UNCC Homecoming 2013

                I go to school at UNC Charlotte and this past weekend was our homecoming basketball game. I am involved with greek life here also. This whole week has been packed with fun activites leading up to the big game. There was a competition between all of the sororities and fraternities and whoever got the most points at the end of the week won. There were events where if you went, you got points for your sorority or fraternity. We also had penny wars where we tried to raise money.

                Saturday was the tailgate. All of the greeks on campus set up in the parking lot and we grilled out until the big game. It was so much fun. We were up at 7 am setting everything up but it was so worth it. Every sorority was paired up with a frat and they had a tailgate to themselves but everyone wandered around the parking lot anyways. There were about 5 different cars playing 5 different songs and everything was so loud. It got everyone pumped for football next year. This was by far my favorite memory here so far.
